Advanced Setup > NAT

NAT Setting Select whether use NAT function or not.

* What is NAT?

In Computer Networking, the process of Network Address Translation (NAT , also

known as Network Masquerading , Native Address Translation or IP Masquerading )

involves re-writing the source and/or destination addresses of IP packets as they pass

through a Router or firewall. Most systems using NAT do so in order to enable multiple

hosts on a private network to access the Internet using a single public IP address (see

gateway). Many network administrators find NAT a convenient technique and use it

widely. Nonetheless, NAT can introduce complications in communication between hosts

and may have a performance impact.


31/39



Advanced Setup > NAT > Virtual Server

Virtual Server

You Can configure the Wireless Router as a virtual server so that remote usersaccessing services such as the Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addressescan be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP address.

In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port numbers), theWireless Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (locatedat another internal IP address).

How to use?

1. Enable : To enable the specified entry of the virtual server.

2. Protocol To select virtual server protocol type of the specified entry.

3. Private IP : To enter a private IP address of specified entry.

4. Private Port To enter a private Port number of the specified entry.

5. To enter a public port number of the internet user to access the virtual server.


32/39



Advanced Setup > NAT > Port Mapping

Port Mapping

For some applications, you need to assign a set or a range of ports to a specified localmachine to route the packets. Wireless Router allows the user to configure the neededport mappings to suit such applications.

When network user try to access LAN, user need to assign and mapping the portnumber of application protocol to network IP and relevant port number of LAN.

By using port forwarding setup, you can do IP address and port number mapping

How to use?

1. Enable : To enable a specified entry of the Port Mapping.

2. Server IP : To enter the IP Address of a specified local machine.

3. Mapping Port : To assign a range of port or specific port number to route the

packets.


33/39



Advanced Setup > NAT > DMZ

DMZ(Demilitarized Zone)

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an internet application properly frombehind the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way internetaccess by defining a virtual DMZ Host.

This enable PC that has IP or MAC address can operate as WEB, FTP, Telenet ormail server without separate port forwarding, which means all port is opened.

How to use?

1. Enable : To enable or disable the DMZ setting of ROUTER.

Select the check box to enable.

2. IP Address : To enter IP Address of the DMZ host.


34/39



4. RJ11 Interface for Voice Call

AWR-501L can make Voice Call with RJ11 Interface. A wire phone and RJ11 Interface of AWR-501L bothenable Voice Call as follow.

1. Connect the line of the wire phone to Tel port on the backside of AWR-501L of the wire phone.

2. When the phone is in on-hook state (put down), turn AWR-501L on, leave the phone for 10 sec

during the system boot.

3. Once the system boots up, you may hear Dial Tone when you answer the phone. If once the

connection is properly established, you should be able to receive and send Voice.

The registration may spend about 30 sec on proper CDMA network so you better not operate

since the CDMA network in general. You better not to operate since the registration takes about

30sec for CDMA network in general.

4. After checking Dial Tone on the phone, enter the phone number you wish to call.

5. If you hang on the phone for about 4 sec after pressing phone number, AWR-501L will initiates

speak on the phone.

7. You may send DTMF by pressing the number keys during ARS.

8. When you hear Reorder Tone, you need to hang up and try it again. (If there is no valid dial tone.4sec when key is pressed or 10sec when key is not pressed.)

9. When you hang on the phone (Off-hook), you can not receive Incomming Voice Call even you

didnt make a call. Remember that you only can receive Incomming Voice Call in On-Hook

state.

10. Sending and receiving Voice Call are available during Data Connection.

11. When you hang on the phone without the network connection, you may hear warning tone and

do not try to dial.

You can hear dial tone in Off-hook state on the network connection and then try to dial.

5. Troubleshooting

This section provides an overview of common issues, and possible solutions for the installation andoperation of the AnyDATA AWR-501L.

1. Why am I not able to obtain a wireless connection.

An Ethernet connection is required to troubleshoot the AWR-501L.

If you have enabled Encryption on the AWR-501L, you must also enable encryption on all wireless

clients in order to establish a wireless connection.

Ensure that the ESSID on the AWR-501L and the Wireless Client are exactly the same.

If they are not, your wireless connection will not be established.

Move the AWR-501L and the wireless client into the same room, and then test the wireless connection.

Disable all security settings such as WEP , and MAC Address Control .

Turn off the AWR-501L and the client. Turn the AWR-501L back on again, and then turn on the client.

Ensure that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, ensure that the AC power and

Ethernet cables are firmly connected.

Ensure that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are correctly entered for the

network.

Keep your product at least 3-6 feet away from electrical devices that generate RF noise.

Examples include: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, and so forth.

2. What should I do if my wireless client cannot access the Internet?

Establish WiFi Connection. If you selected either WEP or WPA-PSK encryption, ensure encryption

settings match your WiFi settings. WiFi and encryption settings must match to ensure AWR-501L

Configuration Menu, and Internet access. Please refer to your WiFi adapter documentation for

additional information. Ensure that the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct Access

Point. To check this connection, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar.2. Select View Available Wireless Networks . The Connect to Wireless Network screen appears.

Ensure you have selected the correct available network.

Ensure the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP Address range as the

Access Point and gateway. The AWR-501L has an IP Address of 192.168.2.1. Wireless adapters must

have an IP Address in the same range (e.g., 192.168.0.x). Although the subnet mask must be the same

for all the computers on the network, no two devices may have the same IP Address. Therefore, each

device must have a unique IP Address.

To check the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter, follow the steps below:


37/39



1. Double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar.

2. Select the Support tab. The IP Address will be displayed.

3. Why am I not able to access the Configuration Menu when I use my computer to configure therouter?

Ensure that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the AWR-501L.

The IP Address of the AWR-501L is 192.168.2.1. All the computers on the network must have a

unique IP Address within the same range (e.g., 192.168.0.x). Any computers that have identical

IP Addresses will not be visible on the network. All computers must also have the same subnet mask

(e.g., 255.255.255.0).

Do a Ping test to make sure that the AWR-501L is responding.

Go to Start > Run . Type cmd . Press Enter. Type ping 192.168.2.1.

A successful ping shows four replies.

If you have changed the default IP Address, ensure you ping the correct IP Address assigned to the

AnyDATA AWR-501L. Ensure that your Ethernet Adapter is working properly, and that all network

drivers are installed properly.

The network adapter name displayed below is provided as an example. Network adapter names will

vary depending on your specific adapter. The installation steps listed below are applicable for all

network adapters.

4. What can I do if my LAN cable does not work properly?

First, ensure that there is a solid cable connection between the Ethernet port on the AWR-501L,

and your NIC (Network Interface Card).

Second, ensure that the settings on your NIC adapter are Enabled, and set to accept an IP address

from the DHCP.

If settings appear to be correct, ensure that you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable.

5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?

Antenna Orientation. Try different antenna orientations for the AWR-501L.

Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise,

like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.

6. What should I do if I forgot my security key?

If you forgot your security key, the WiFi card will be unable to establish a proper connection.

If a security key setting has been set for the AWR-501L, it must also be set for the WiFi card that will

connect to the AWR-501L.
